Recently, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training has publicized “Ranking of university entrance exam results of Hanoi students”. Below are remarkable figures: Invincible Hanoi – Amsterdam: average score for three university entrance subjects of 20.75 With their time-honored learning traditions and students having good academic results, Hanoi – Amsterdam High School had 508 students sitting the entrance exams to university and they had an average score for three subjects of 20.75, taking first place in the table. Nguyen Hue High School came in second place with 19.05 points though 803 of their students took the exams. Chu Van An ranked 3rd with 19.01 points.

This year’s ranking has also witnessed positive changes of such schools as Kim Lien, Thang Long, Yan Hoa, Phan Dinh Phung or Tran Phu – Hoan Kiem comparing to their places in the table last year. The ranking has also recognized private high schools such as Luong The Vinh, whose average score was 18.09 and they achieved the 4th place. The figure means even more to them as they had 1.125 students taking the exams.

If we consider 13 the lowest score for all groups of subjects in Hanoi, only 40 schools had students scoring above 13 (in average) for each set of 3 subjects. Scoring below 13 were those schools that are rich in tradition including Quang Trung – Dong Da (12.86 points, ranked 43rd), Doan Ket – Hai Ba Trung (12.15 points), Nguyen Trai – Ba Dinh (12.17 points),… As mentioned above, this ranking is based on each school’s average score for three subjects in the university entrance exams 2012.
